At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

So Yuan Shu waited for Guo Peng's reply with some trepidation.

To be honest, this is the first time Yuan Shu, the iron-headed boy who is fearless and fearless, has such an emotion of worrying about gains and losses.

This made him a little uncomfortable.

But soon the messenger came back, Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and quickly asked the messenger Guo Peng for his reply.

As a result, the messenger said that Guo Peng first had a military parade in Jizhou, and then was invited to Shanggu County by Karasuma Shan Yunanlou, and then he would go to Ji County to do business. I don’t know when the letter will be delivered to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng time to give a reply.

Yuan Shu was very annoyed, beat up the messenger's [-] bosses, and then sent people north to look for Guo Peng.

This Guo Zifeng is really, he doesn't leave sooner or later, but he is going to the north at this time, and he is going to such a far place, how long will he have to wait?

He really couldn't wait any longer, couldn't help it, and couldn't wait to announce this matter, and became emperor.

Yuan's prestige should be carried forward in his hands and continue to be passed on.

Now is the most critical time, but you Guo Zifeng actually disappeared for me!You play missing!

Yuan Shu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He was so hot that he couldn't sleep well every night because of it. He was eager to fly to Guo Peng and listen to him say that sentence to himself. "Long live my emperor".

Ah~~~

How refreshing would that be?

He suffered for three days in all kinds of pain.

Three days later, Guo Peng sent someone to bring a large amount of food, money, and luxuries that Yuan Shu liked, as well as a group of dancers and musicians.

Yuan Shu was silent for a while.

Just at this moment, he made up an inner monologue of Guo Peng.

Gonglu, I want to support you, but I also have my difficulties. Tell me, I have been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty for so long, and I am used to both civil and military personnel. Suddenly you say you want to be the emperor, let alone my civil and military personnel. Yes, I can't react either.

You are a little too sudden, so I don't have the slightest defense. I want to support you, which is true, but you can't let me tell the martial arts under my command that I want to support you without preparation, right?

This is too abrupt, why don't you proclaim the emperor first, create an established fact, and break with the Han Dynasty, so that I can support you conveniently, right?

In fact, this is Guo Peng's long-standing practice, sending Yuan Shu some money, food and supplies every quarter, and sending Yuan Shu a lot of luxury goods as a tribute for Yuan Shu to enjoy.

This is also one of the important reasons why Yuan Shu has always considered Guo Peng to be his loyal dog.

Because of the emotional bonus in this aspect, at this time, Yuan Shu took the initiative to make up this routine behavior into Guo Peng's hint.

snort!You brat, you also have such small thoughts!

Yuan Shu felt that he had gotten Guo Peng's hint, so he was overjoyed, as if he felt that he had already sat on the throne and was astonished.

As long as Guo Peng supports him, he will be fearless.

If Tao Qian and Sun Ce continue to be ignorant of each other, after he becomes emperor, Yuan Gonglu will personally command troops to attack Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and show Tao Qian and Sun Ce some color!Absolutely don't let them have a good time!

Chapter 387. 380 Six Yan Xiang did not come up with the final answer

The big picture is set.

Yuan Shu believed that the overall situation was settled, and no one could stop him from proclaiming himself emperor.

Tao Qian and Sun Ce's objections were ignored by him, and the dissuasion of a few subordinates was regarded by him as non-existent.

On June 24, the second year of Xingping, Yuan Shu held a banquet for the main civil servants and generals under his command.

Dancing, music, wine, food.

Everyone was extremely happy, drunk and dreaming, drinking for three rounds, each hugging their favorite dancers, and it was a scene of a group of demons dancing wildly.

In such a scene, Yuan Shu sat alone at the head, looked at the "demons" under his command with complacent eyes, glanced around, and motioned for the music to stop.

Seeing that Yuan Shu had something to say, the subordinates temporarily stopped their actions and looked at Yuan Shu together.

"Recently, I heard that the Son of Heaven was defeated and captured by Xiliang rebels in Hongnong. This incident made me very sad."

After Yuan Shu finished his first sentence, Yan Xiang, who had been drinking all the time and didn't play with the dancing girls, suddenly looked at Yuan Shu with wide eyes.

Is it...

"The emperor of the Han family has been in power for 400 years. When did he reach this point? He was actually defeated and captured by the rebels? What is the majesty of the emperor? What is the majesty of the court?"

Yuan Shu had a heartbroken look on his face, and most of his subordinates, whose judgment had been eroded by alcohol, nodded again and again, showing a heartbroken look, and at the same time quietly quarreled with the dancer in his arms, which angered many dancers Shouting and laughing in a low voice.

Only a few subordinates whose brains were still relatively clear realized something like Yan Xiang.

After all, the recent talk of the birth of the unicorn and prophecy has been hotly discussed in Shouchun City, and some people even raised the idea that Huainan will have an emperor, which aroused many people's discussions.

At this moment, they all had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Is it...

Yuan Shu took a deep breath.

"The Son of Heaven is weak, the imperial court is in decline, and the majestic Han court is actually controlled by Xiliang thieves, who openly coerce the Son of Heaven to issue orders, cause chaos in the world, and appoint officials at will. Who can accept such a thing?

I, Yuan Gonglu, was born in the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three lords. Four generations of my family have been high-ranking officials in the court, so prominent. I cannot accept this situation anyway, and I cannot let the Xiliang rebels give orders to me!

The emperor can't resist humiliation, so does he still have the face to be a descendant of the Liu family?Can the Son of Heaven still have the face to rule the world if he can't defeat the bandits?If the emperor can't regulate the court and protect the important ministers, does he still have the face to be the emperor?

Now the world of the Liu family has declined, and there is a lot of turmoil in the world. The people are willing to join me and listen to my orders. I want to uphold the will of heaven and obey the hearts of the people. I want to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor now. "

Yuan Shu's voice was loud and clear, and every word he said was righteous and eloquent. At first hearing, I really thought Yuan Shu was concerned about the country and the people.

But after a little reaction, he realized that Yuan Shu was talking about treason and injustice. He said that he wanted to proclaim himself emperor.

All the civil servants under his command looked at Yuan Shu dumbfounded, and didn't react for a while.

The dancers and musicians also turned pale with fright.

Because no one spoke for a while, Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied and snorted heavily.

"Don't you support me proclaiming emperor? Come!"

Yuan Shu yelled out, and the officials were frightened out of their wits. They thought Yuan Shu was going to do something, but they saw an attendant walking in with a plate. On the plate was a box, and what was inside the box was unknown.

Yuan Shu opened the box, took out something from it, put it on the palm of his hand, and lifted it up for everyone to see.

That is!

"This is the Imperial Seal of the First Emperor!"

Yuan Shu shouted loudly: "Do you think that the birth of the unicorn is fake? No! The birth of the unicorn is real! There really was a unicorn who gave me the jade seal that should have been in Kansai! I, I am the one who should inherit the Liu family!"

The ministers were stunned by the words of Chuan Guo Yuxi and Yuan Shu, and they looked at Yuan Shu blankly.

"I, the Yuan family, came from Chen. After Chen Naishun, I used the soil to carry the fire, which was the second to meet my destiny. During Emperor Wu's time, there was a prophecy that the person who called the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye. My name is Gonglu. Isn't that what I said? ?!"

Yuan Shu's expression was distorted with excitement.

"It is God who wants me to be the emperor! It is God who wants me to be emperor! It is God who wants me to replace the Liu family, establish a new dynasty to rule the world, and wipe out all traitors! This is God's guidance! Who dares to object?!"

With a loud shout, all the officials turned pale with fright, trembling with fear of Yuan Shu's domineering aura, no one dared to stand up and stop Yuan Shu.

If it is true what Yuan Shu said, then he... is really the Son of Man?

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu, who was almost insane, with a pale face, and his heart was extremely confused, and it was impossible to stop it. If he didn't stop it, he always felt that his life was not long.

After a while, Yan Xiang lowered his head with a decrepit expression, and remained silent.

Soon, some person took the lead, stood up and came in front of Yuan Shu, knelt down on both knees, and fell at Yuan Shu's feet, saying "Long live my emperor".

So a group of understanding people immediately stepped forward and knelt down, shouting long live together.

There were only a few people, and the civil servants from the gentry headed by Yan Xiang looked at each other, looked at each other, and then looked at Yan Xiang together.

As the leader of the scholars under Yuan Shu's command, Yan Xiang's statement is very important.

Yuan Shu also kept staring at Yan Xiang.

Just waiting for Yan Xiang to make his final statement.

Yan Xiang felt all kinds of eyes, especially Yuan Shu, those eyes were like a knife piercing his body, very fierce and painful.

Yuan Shu's will is already irreversible, but is it really right for him to call himself emperor?

Is there really no problem?

Are instructions from heaven really true?

Heaven and man felt that they restricted the emperor, but they also imprisoned the scholars in turn.

From the beginning to limit the monarchy to now everyone is firmly imprisoned, did the people who first advocated this theory really want it?

Is it really right to act in the name of heaven?

At this moment, Yan Xiang thought of such a question, and was not sure whether it was right or wrong.

God, what the hell is it?

Yan Xiang didn't come up with the final answer after all.

He stood up silently, walked out with blank eyes, slowly, step by step, walking and walking, and just like that, he disappeared from Yuan Shu's field of vision.

After Yan Xiang left, the rest of the gentry children looked at me and I looked at you, frightened by Yuan Shu's power, they all chose to keep silent and acquiesced to Yuan Shu's move to proclaim himself emperor.

Therefore, Yan Xiang was the only one who did not get the imperial seal at Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor ceremony.

On that day, Yan Xiang fell ill and lay on the bed at home unable to get up, and died of illness not long after.

But Yuan Shu completed his grand ceremony of proclaiming himself emperor in a glorious manner.

Chapter 388 .380 Seven Yuan Shu officially proclaims emperor

On the first day of July in the second year of Xingping in the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu changed into the emperor's costume, rode on the emperor's carriage, offered sacrifices to heaven and earth in Shouchun, offered sacrifices to sages from all walks of life, read out the enthronement edict, and then officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Jianguo - Chen.

Then it was changed to Yuan Longsheng, and the area under the jurisdiction of Chen State all used the Longsheng era name as the orthodox era name, and the Xingping era title of the Han Dynasty should be abandoned.

In the name of Emperor Chen, Yuan Shu announced that Liu Xie, the emperor of Han who had been defeated and captured by the rebels in Xiliang, would not be recognized and deposed by him, and could no longer claim to be the emperor.

He chose a county in Jiujiang County, Zhongli County, and then changed it to Zhongli County. As Liu Xie's future fiefdom, he changed it to Zhongli County Duke, quasi-hereditary.

Although he once thought about assassinating Liu Xie, but after thinking about it, he decided to proclaim himself emperor first and save Liu Xie's life as a bonsai for his new dynasty to show the magnanimity of the new dynasty and the legitimacy of inheriting the Han heirs.

He also announced that he would soon lead his troops to crusade against the traitors in Xiliang and eliminate their harm to the world.

Liu Xie is no longer the emperor, there is only one true emperor in the world, and that is him, Yuan Shu and Yuan Benchu.

According to the theory of the Five Virtues, Chen inherited the Huo virtue of the Han Dynasty with the earth virtue, so he took the earth color as the national color, advocating yellow, and all the utensils used by Yuan Shu were yellow.

Therefore, when Yuan Shu canonized his concubines, his relatives, and his subordinates as officials, he used yellow silk to convey his will.

For example, when conferring several generals under his command, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Le Jiu, Liang Gang, etc., as well as some civil officials, they all used yellow silk to convey his canonization orders.

He canonized General Zhang Xun as General of Chariots and Cavalry, General Ji Ling as General of Wei, Qiaorui, Li Feng, Lejiu, and Liang Gang as Generals of Front and Back, and General Liu Xun as Prefect of Lujiang and General of Zhengnan.

Canonize Yang Hong as Jiujiang Taishou, change Jiujiang Taishou as Huainan Yin, seal Han Yin as Shang Shuling and so on.

He also ordered his son Yuan Yao to be the crown prince.

Then, for Sun Ce who had previously violated his decision to proclaim himself emperor and did not express repentance, he ordered Liu Xun, the general who conquered the south, to lead his troops to conquer it.

For Tao Qian, who violated his decision to proclaim himself emperor, he decided to conquer him personally, and ordered the former general Qiao Rui to lead the army to conquer him first.

He decided to start these two beautiful battles to establish a country, stabilize the situation around him, and let everyone in the world know how powerful and good at fighting the new Chen country is.

Then send troops to go straight to Guanzhong, capture Liu Xie, and formally depose him, so as to confirm the orthodoxy of the Chen Empire.

At the same time, he made the most important canonization order, canonizing Guo Peng and Guo Zifeng as the hussar general of the Chen Empire and the governor of the three states of Hebei.

Then quietly removed Guo Peng's power to concurrently manage Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and replaced him with his own people as the governors of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and sent someone to take office.

He began to realize that Guo Peng was very powerful and might pose a threat to him. Although he believed that Guo Peng would not do this, in order to better ensure the stability of his country, it would be better to reduce Guo Peng's power a little.

And he doesn't have a general, only Guo Peng is the general of the hussars, which means that Guo Peng is the No. 1 in the entire Chen Empire under him, the number one soldier, isn't this kind of treatment not good enough?

Well, You Hou is generous enough, if you don’t talk about other things, it is indeed quite generous.
